Question about Sea and Sea Sea Eagle Inflatable Fishing Boat Se 6 Fishermans Dream Package
A timber boat is high maintenance. Trust me, I've had quite a few. You're always sanding timber, varnishing timber, repairing timber and lots more. Now if you're happy to be doing that then that's great, but recognize that's the price you pay for a great looking timber fishing boat. And a timber boat is often heavy, and will not last well, particularly if you aren't as diligent with your maintenance as you could be. And they puncture easily when you hit something, as I did last week. But if you're not an enthusiast for working on boats then timber isn't your best choice. What you want in a fishing boat is this. It needs to be tough. It needs to be low maintenance. It needs to be puncture resistant. It needs to last forever without spending hours working on it. It needs to be easily repairable. And it needs to be cost effective. For me the best choice fishing boat is an aluminum fishing boat. Aluminum has properties which make it the perfect material for building fishing boats. It is very light and strong for it's weight, and can be easily welded, so is ideal for both building and repairing. It is extremely long lasting, and is very resistant to puncture. Now of course that doesn't mean it can't be damaged, as it can. But you need to hit it pretty hard to do some serious damage. And if you did that to a timber or fiberglass boat it will be very seriously damaged. And an aluminum boat may just dent, rather than fracture, so you can head right back home with nothing more to show than a dent, instead of possibly be the subject of a rescue from a sinking boat. And it lasts forever if treated right. If you get a great aluminum fishing boat and treat it well you may well find yourself leaving it to your kids. Because aluminum boats are light for their strength they often need a smaller engine, and the engine is probably the highest cost item. A smaller engine costs less, and uses less fuel. And with a smaller engine they are also lighter and easier to handle. And they require little maintenance. Make sure you hose your boat down after a day out, especially in saltwater, and if you drop a lead sinker make sure you pick it up, as it's not great to leave any other metal in contact with aluminum, otherwise you don't need to do too much maintenance at all. More fishing time. And because aluminum boats last so well they also retain their resale value well. I bought a used aluminum fishing boat 2 years ago and it is currently worth a little more than I paid for it. So there's plenty of good reasons to buy an aluminum fishing boat. Unfortunately they aren't cheap if you want to buy a new boat, but for the same reasons I've mentioned above, it's way better to buy a used aluminum boat, as a used boat is usually much cheaper than a new one, and retains it value well. I would never buy a new aluminum boat. So grab yourself a great used aluminum fishing boat and get fishing this summer, it's the best way to get on the water.

Aluminum is relatively cheap and lightweight compared to fiberglass. For calm protected waters this is good, shallow draft and easy to tow to different lakes. For rough offshore waters, light weight is not an advantage. I don't think the fish really care what kind of boat you have. It's more about fitting the boat to the conditions.

In April 2018, more than 6,600 athletes and team officials from 70 nations and territories will descend on Australia's Gold Coast for the 2018 Commonwealth Games (GC2018). The 11-day event will be hosted at sporting venues across the Gold Coast and Brisbane and spectator demand for accommodation and car hire in both these cities is putting pressure on companies to book early.
Pursuit for rooms on the Coast and beyond
GC2018 is now less than a year away and hotels, resorts and apartments across the Gold Coast are experiencing high booking levels as Games visitors from around the world lock in their accommodation early. With events to be held across a range of world-class sporting venues between the northern and southern ends of the Coast, and in additional venues in Brisbane, demand is expected to be strong not only on the Gold Coast but also south to the Tweed Heads border and north to Brisbane.
Flight Centre Travel Group Corporate estimates hotels in the central Gold Coast area are already at more than 75% capacity for the Games period.
During the wider Games period of 29 March to 17 April, some reports indicate there could be limited availability for corporate bookings in the central Gold Coast/Surfers Paradise area. While Broadbeach and further south to Coolangatta and Kingscliff have availability at present, this is expected to decline with the influx of leisure bookings that will come with the general sale of tickets. It is imperative for corporate customers to check with their suppliers whether negotiated rates will be available during this time.
Hotel rates to peak
With the Games to be held during the Queensland Easter school holidays, peak season rates will apply at all Gold Coast properties. Many spectator visitors are expected to use the Easter long weekend to arrive prior to the Games, or to stay on after the Games to further explore the Gold Coast and South-East Queensland.
Due to high demand, rates may be more than double each property's low season rates, even for those booking well in advance, with some hotels unable to offer last room availability on contracted rates for this period.
Early signs of demand in Brisbane
TFE Hotels, which will have four properties operating in Brisbane by February 2018, says that while corporates usually avoid bookings in host cities during Games periods, TFE has already started to receive pre- and post-Games leisure travel enquiries for GC2018.
"Our Travelodge Garden City hotel has already sold out during GC2018 because of its proximity to the new Queensland State Velodrome, the Super X BMX track at the Sleeman Sports Complex in Chandler, and the Belmont Shooting Complex – all of which will be hosting events for the Games," says Shahnaz Bakhshay, TFE's Director of Sales for Australia and New Zealand.
Room nights at the Travelodge have sold at premium rates and we believe our other Brisbane hotels will hold well with flow-over once Gold Coast properties have reached capacity.
While Mantra Group advises demand for accommodation at their twenty-three Gold Coast properties during the Games is at an all-time high and the Northern New South Wales, Brisbane and Sunshine Coast properties are already benefiting from the overflow. Those travelling to attend the Games will need to start making their travel plans quite quickly to avoid missing out.
Implications for car hire
According to Avis, car hire demand is expected to be heavier than usual during the Games period in the Gold Coast area.
Avis has advised they will manage this through their ability to adjust the fleet to reflect the increased demand. Corporate rates will be valid during the Games period, however, the larger vehicles will be in the highest demand so it is recommended that these be booked as soon as possible.
For travellers who can be flexible with their arrangements, there are surrounding Avis locations that might be a great alternative to the Gold Coast. These include Brisbane Airport and city locations and the northern NSW areas of Ballina and Lismore.
Similarly, Hertz will consider increasing its fleet during the Games period if required, and is encouraging all customers to book vehicles well in advance to enable more accurate forecasting of demand levels. Hertz's Regional Travel Industry Manager for Australia and New Zealand, Maria Pantazis, says they expect corporate rates will be available during this period. "We anticipate that demand for car hire will be highest at the peak of Games, and lower during the shoulder periods as some travellers may avoid the area simply due to perception of limited availability in accommodation and flights," she said.
Thrifty, which has been named the official car rental supplier for GC2018, is set to provide approximately 1,400 vehicles including passenger cars, light commercial vehicles and small buses on the Gold Coast throughout the Games period. The vehicles will be absorbed into Thrifty's local rental pool following the Games.
The supplier arrangement will drive benefits to car hire users, with Thrifty reinvigorating its rental stock and providing new or near new vehicles that meet the 5 star ANCAP ratings and feature a mix of Euro 5/6 emissions ratings.
Greater value from one source
Your Flight Centre Travel Group corporate travel manager gives you one booking source through which you can access more hotel and car inventory on the Gold Coast and in Brisbane at the best value.

CORAL GABLES — His real name, William Henry Dozier III, didn`t quite fit.
The youngster was soon known around his Virginia Beach, Va., neighborhood as Deke Junior. But there was confusion in the Dozier household. His father`s nickname was Deke Junior, so William III became D.J. Dozier.
``Great football name, but back then who knew I was going to play the game,`` said Dozier, a junior tailback, who plays the game well for Penn State.
The origin of his name is one of the standard Dozier stories around the campus. The other is about the time Penn State grad Rosey Grier lectured at Dozier`s church, 10 days before Dozier signed his letter of intent.
Among a team of no-names, he is the closest thing to a star the No. 1- ranked Nittany Lions have. He was considered by many to be a contender for the Heisman Trophy. Last year Sports Illustrated labeled him the best sophomore tailback in the country. He made the cover of Street and Smith. He seemed headed for his second straight 1,000-yard season.
But a variety of injuries -- sore shoulder, groin pull and knee ligament damage -- plagued him throughout the 1984 season. He ended up with just 691 yards, compared to the 1,002 yards he gained as a freshman.
To top it off, he underwent arthroscopic knee surgery in January and missed all of spring practice. He missed two full games and parts of two others this year with a hamstring injury.
``I can`t really describe my emotions as I was standing on the sidelines when I was injured,`` Dozier said. ``I went into the games knowing that no matter what, I wasn`t going to play. All I could do was help the others. Being on the sidelines and not playing has helped me be more of a leader on this team. I learned that I have to talk when things need to be said.``

Anemia Treatment in La Jolla, CA
We all have those days where we feel sluggish, in a fog and generally "out of it." Once in while this feeling is normal, however when these days turn into weeks, months or years, something may be wrong, and it could be serious. Anemia may be the cause.
What is Anemia?
Anemia can be a very serious condition. When you're anemic, red blood cells (RBCs) in your body can't carry enough oxygen to your tissues. This can be caused by a number of issues, one of which—known as sickle cell anemia—can affect hemoglobin, an iron-rich molecule that sits atop your RBCs. Hemoglobin's main job is to hold onto oxygen molecules, transporting them around your body, supporting the various functions of organ systems and cell life. This is one specific case. However, the four main types of anemia include:
- Anemia due to chronic disease: HIV/AIDS, kidney failure, Crohn's disease, rheumatoid-arthritis, and several other chronic conditions can present with anemia as a symptom.
- Aplastic anemia: Anemia due to a disease in bone marrow. This is serious as marrow is the production center of your blood.
- Hemolytic anemia: Destruction of red blood cells is the calling card of hemolytic anemia. With fewer blood cells, less oxygen is transported, and with less oxygen comes anemia.
- Sickle cell anemia: A condition that results in misshapen RBCs. This elongated malformation of blood cells inhibits the ability of hemoglobin to carry needed oxygen.
Despite presenting in numerous forms, anemia has several defining symptoms common to nearly all types, these include:
- Headache
- Fatigue/general weakness
- Arrhythmia (uneven heartbeat)
- Tachycardia (fast heart rate)
- Dizziness
- Trouble breathing
- Cold extremities (hands/feet)
- Pale skin
- Chest pain
If left untreated, anemia can even result in death. It's far more than just exhaustion and fatigue, anemia places considerable strain on your body, asking it to perform as normal with limited quantities of what it needs most, oxygen. It's like asking your car to run low on oil; it's only a matter of time before things seize up.
What Causes Anemia?
Feeling anemic is never fun. In fact, it can be downright dangerous, and in some cases, life-threatening. There are some conditions that can generate anemia. A poor diet, especially those leading up to an iron deficiency, low B12 and low folate levels is among the most common causes of anemia. Other causes may include:
- Menstruation
- Pregnancy
- Severe bleeding
- Chronic conditions like those listed above
- Autoimmune conditions
- Blood disease
- Heavy metal toxicity
- Alcoholism
Anemia can be tricky; some people may present with a full range of serious symptoms while others may not show a single one. It depends on the case and the person, after all, no two people are alike.
How is Anemia Treated?
Treatment options can vary. The first step to treatment is always a diagnosis, however. To diagnose anemia, a physical exam, detailed medical history and blood test (CBC) will likely be performed.
Once the source of your anemia has been confirmed, treatment can begin. Anything from a simple diet modification and vitamin supplements to blood transfusions, marrow transplants and chemotherapy may be required. It all depends on what underlying cause of anemia is running rampant in your system.
If you've been feeling sluggish, under the weather and have been for some time, it might be time to speak with a healthcare provider. Anemia is a real condition that requires real medical attention. Seek help today.

Principal Investigator: Rick Neitzel, Terry Von Thaden (University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana)
Source of funding: University of Michigan Center for Occupational Health and Safety Engineering
Description: Firefighting is hazardous work, as evidenced by the high rate of injuries and illnesses among firefighters. In particular, firefighters have the potential for simultaneous exposure to high levels of noise, stress, and fatigue, and there is an emerging body of literature that suggests that these exposures may be related to injury risk. Despite the high potential for injury, studies of occupational hazards associated with firefighting often suffer from inadequate exposure assessment. Exposures to firefighting hazards are difficult work to assess in situ, due in part to the transient and unpredictable nature of these hazards, as well as to the mobile nature of firefighting work.
The proposed study will take advantage of a unique training facility, the Illinois Fire Service Institute, to explore exposures to several occupational hazards among firefighters undergoing vehicle extrication training. These hazards are fatigue, stress, and noise. Demographics, health status, and injury experience will be assessed at baseline, and fatigue, sleep quality and duration, sleepiness, ability to concentrate, and physical activities will be evaluated daily via questionnaire, a psychomotor vigilance task, and an activity log. Stress will be evaluated daily via questionnaire and measurements of heart rate variability. Noise levels will be evaluated continuously over the entire study duration, including training, nontraining, and sleep periods. We will explore the relationships between these various exposures and injury and near-miss experience, also evaluated on a daily basis for all subjects. The results of this study will provide useful information about the relationship of noise, stress, and fatigue to injury risk among firefighters, and may be generalizable to other high hazard occupations, as well.

I don't like the one Matrix sequel I've seen, Matrix Reloaded. I saw the first Matrix as well as Reloaded. In the first Matrix, there was a very good amount of atmosphere from the get-go. In the beginning, dreams are a very big theme, and it works wonders. Then, Neo wakes up, and discovers the truth. The scene is wonderfully shot, and gives us a sense of shock, seeing all the pods connected to a generator. Then the movie builds and builds on the good things, like the sense of wonder as we discover new things. It also builds up Neo from an average hacker by simultaneously building up the threat of the agents, and showing it by how easily Morpheus is captured by Smith. When we finally see Neo stop those bullets, defeat Smith without trying, then see the other two agents actually chicken out, we're left amazed and stunned not only by this amazing victory, but also the struggles Neo faced to get there.
I feel Reloaded lacked all that. Neo was kind of just...there, as his character arc is complete after the first movie's end. When Neo fights someone, it lacks the tension of the fight scenes of the first. When Neo fights Smith, we feel that Neo is actually threatened with death, and as such, seeing him get out of it is exciting. However, when he fights...well, anyone, in Reloaded, that feeling is absent. The only time Reloaded even approaches this tension is when Neo fights the Smiths, but even that's broken once we see the crappy CGI that kills the immersion. In short, whenever Neo is in a fight, that tension is all but gone. The only fight scene without him is the freeway chase, which is actually the one scene I liked in Reloaded. In short, Neo's invincibility kills the tension in his fights.
My opponent makes a few central points which I feel can be shortly dismissed.
1. In Matrix Reloaded, we did not feel the build up of Neo and the challenges that he had to overcome as we did in the original.
2. Neo's invincibility kills the tension.
3. The character's story arc is completed at the end of the first Matrix.
My responses:
1. I think my opponent may have not critically paid attention to the movie. From the very beginning, Neo has to struggle with his relationship with trinity after dreaming that she would die. It conflicts him.
In the original Matrix, the focus was on Neo's own development as a person, with him becoming "The One".
If a character has already become what he needs to become, then what is left is his relationship with other people. This is what Matrix Revolutons is based on.
This is why at the very end of the movie, our main character has to make a choice between fulfilling his obligation as "The One" or saving the love of his life.
Clearly, Neo does face many challenges in this movie.
2. Well, of course he is. He is "The One" after all. If anything, I'm glad that he can dispatch Smiths. It leaves less time for Neo to be on the ground and more time for awesome kung-fu action.
3. The character becomes what he is destined to become. This does not mean his arc is completed. When Superman gets rebooted, at the end of the movie he's always found his true purpose and identity. This does not mean that his arc is completed, for he still has villains and romance to deal with...sort of like Neo.
Once again, I do not think my opponent has given any good reasons to accept that the sequels were not good.
Reloaded and Revolutions were meant to be one movie. However, it was too big to be one script. So they had to bloat it some to make it work. This really shows in Reloaded, at least to me. For example, most of the stuff in Zion in Reloaded was not absolutely necessary. For instance, the rave scene in Zion does show human impulses, something important in the Matrix films, but it stretched on longer than it really had to. Or Neo's fight against Seraph, the Oracle's guardian. It didn't really need to be there to move the plot. Yet another example is the Merovingian's long speech about causality. It was interesting, and did contain a nice little theme we would see come to fruition in the Architect scene, but once again, was boring because of how long it stretched on. The important parts were the Oracle talking about rogue programs, and Neo meeting the Architect. Only those really drove the plot forward. But even in the Architect scene, the Architect is near impossible to understand. I have a pretty advanced vocabulary for my age, but still had to look it up online after the fact. The fact that the most crucial scene is hidden under such cryptic dialogue is where the film truly failed the audience. The movie is almost all just a spectacle to fill up the time until the big revelation that actually matters in the grand scheme of things, only to have that revelation hidden under ridiculously confusing dialogue.
Also, on the subject of Neo's character arc not being finished, I didn't really feel that sense of urgency. I never once feared for Trinity's life in the movie. I never really felt it, and I suspect that it's because it's buried under all the filler. Not once did I fear Neo would fail to save Trinity, the movie never delved into that. It could've made such an interesting plot line, but it's never really gone into in depth. There isn't really much emotional weight on Trinity's death because they don't really build it up like they did so brilliantly with the threat of the Agents. This is because of all the focus on the less important characters and plot lines that didn't need quite as much focus. Because of this, Reloaded ends up being pretty boring, between the filler and lack of tension.
Also note that Con did not counter any of my refutations.
As before, I shall answer each argument numerically.
1. In Matrix Reloaded, many scenes had no point to them.
2. Many scenes were stretched out and also not necessary.
3. The dialogue is confusing.
My opponent also makes some sort of response, which I will also address.
I shall now respond to my opponent
1. My opponent has not given any specific scenes for this view.
2. My opponent does give examples here.
Con says that the Zion rave scene stretched out longer than needed. My answer for Con is that what is necessary depends on how you look at it. The rave scene could have been 10 seconds and could have still gotten a point across, but the fact that this ties into another scene with Neo and Trinity gives a full understanding of the events that are taking place.
Another point by Con is that Neo's fight with Seraph was unnecessary.
This, is simply of ignorance. The Seraph is the personification of a CHAP, which ties into the computer side of The Matrix. Through fighting with Neo, Neo is authenticated at The One. -http://en.wikipedia.org...
Remember, in the original Matrix The Oracle told Neo that he was not the one.
Next, my opponent makes a claim that Merovingian's speech was long and therefore boring.
The problem, is that his entire speech when it concerns causality is only three minutes long
It's not long at all, and it is filled with philosophical inquiry and an actual object for discussion (the woman)
3. My opponent cannot understand The Architect. This does not mean that the movie is not good, only that the movie is for the thinking man.
In the most basic of terms, Neo is an anomaly. Neo is a bug in the system, and no matter how hard The Architect has tried, he keeps popping up. Therefore, with each version, the Architect has led Neo to himself, in order to eliminate him.
The rest of my opponent's round is his own subjective feelings on the subject.
Thank You.
I understand the Architect scene now, after looking it up, and know how crucial it is. But for the average movie watcher, having such a monologue that is so difficult to understand, yet so crucial to everything, is so detrimental to the film as a whole. It's not just my perspective either. It's likely the most common complaint leveled at Reloaded, barely anyone could grasp the most important point of the entire franchise. My point about scenes such as Seraph's fight with Neo was not that it had absolutely no reason to exist whatsoever, but that it didn't really benefit the story in any meaningful way. He could've
just asked Neo to manipulate the code in some way, that would have been more visually impressive and interesting. The Merovingian's speech is not the longest, but there is also the elevator ride, where Neo mentions the explosives that never really come to fruition in any meaningful way, and the speech is very off-topic and abrupt. Then all that just for the Merovingian to say no to their deal. It's painfully obvious that it was stretched out due to the split of the sequels.
Most of the stuff in Zion doesn't get us anywhere plot-wise. It's not the worst, but it doesn't really advance a hell of a lot. It serves to introduce so many characters that it's hard to focus on the main cast. We also find out that Tank died between films for some unexplained reason, to give us Link, another new character. The Kid doesn't add much until Revolutions, Commander Lock and Captain Mifune would've been far more interesting if they had been one character, Zee didn't add much until Revolutions, Bane-Smith (the most menacing Hugo Weaving impression known to man) was somewhat interesting, but it's never explained how he could get into the real world. That's something the movie could have explained, but we were left to our own devices to figure it out. Yes, it could be that Smith transferred himself over via Bane's mind, but the lack of explanation just feels like lazy writing. I don't watch movies to then try to figure them out. I watch movies to be entertained. Niobe nor Ghost have a very important role in Reloaded, despite being so set up in Enter the Matrix. The only reason Niobe really was focused on over the course of Reloaded was because of the love triangle that was being set up.
It was this conflicting direction between focus on Neo and the main cast or focus on these side characters that were introduced that strands the film in a No Man's Land in between where the side characters get a bit more focus than they should, but not enough for the main cast to really shine as an average movie watcher such as myself would enjoy. There are good moments such as the freeway chase that are truly tense, visually impressive, and let the characters shine in their own little moments that feel just right, but it's mostly absent throughout the rest of the film. This absence of tension due to the No Man's Land also takes away from what little development Neo has.
Not only does this cluster of characters make it harder to focus on Neo, Keanu Reeves is going full force with the wooden line delivery, not helping anything. Keanu did well as Neo in the first because Neo was the confused fish out of water. It worked for what Neo was in the first movie. But as an all powerful man, the wooden delivery really falls flat. Add this to the fact that watching Neo defeat enemies without breaking a sweat doesn't instill the sense of tension that made the first Matrix's fights so amazing. In the first, Mae get the sense that Neo and his friends are all potentially dead if they screw up even once, with the threat of the agents. It made their stunts and survival all that much more impressive, due to this constant feeling of fear for the protagonists. However, Reloaded's fight scenes mainly focus on Neo. Due to Neo's invincibility, this pressure that made the first film so mind blowing is simply absent. It ultimately makes Neo's development not feel poignant enough to matter to the average viewer. Sorry for not answering your points before this long-winded paragraph, I was saving the best for last.
It ultimately makes the film much less enjoyable than the first. I don't think Reloaded is a terrible film, it's an alright film with some good ideas behind it. But these good ideas ended up taking a backseat to the less important things because of the need to split the sequels. I'd rate it 5/10 stars in all honesty. (A film that is just run of the mill, on my scale.) Thank you for your time in this debate. I looked at your profile, and we're both 15. I'm glad I found someone my age who could have a debate with me, most people in my grade resort to personal insults when their opinion is challenged. There are exceptions, but most of the intellectual people my age agree with my views. Thank you again for this debate, and once you post your next argument, it will be the decision of the voters.

Traditional risk adjustment is a resource-intensive program that is expensive, inefficient, and time-consuming. One of the gripes we often hear is the lack of visibility into accuracy and efficiency of risk adjustment. So, is there an alternative that can transform the entire process and help health plans get more for less?
Alan Chuang, Director of Pharmacy Services & Health Management, Chinese Community Health Plan will discuss his experience and learnings with using technology to transform their risk adjustment program – with better visibility, accuracy, efficiency, and tangible ROI.
Webinar participants will learn:
Who should attend: Managers, Directors, and Executives at health insurance plans and provider organizations

E-Drum Do-It-Yourself: Acoustic to Electronic Conversions
Cymbals - China
These are single-zone, simple triggers. With a china you won't be needing dual-zone anyway.
Pintech Practice Cymbal: China (14" - 18")
Simple, single-zone, non-chokable
For this conversion, I used:
(1) 14/16/18" Pintech Practice Cymbal - $13-$20
(3) 2" Diameter Piezo Element - 75 cents each
(1) 1/4" Stereo Jack - 30 cents each
(1) Roll of electrical tape
(1) Small 4mm Black Wire-Tie
(1) Roll of 5mm foam tape (should be about 1.5" wide)
(1) Glue gun with glue (optional, helps jack to stay in place)
1) Lay out the three piezos evenly around bow of the cymbal. The China will be done almost identically to the crash, except
the cymbal is flipped and you will end up striking what normally is the underside of the cymbal.
2) Solder the three piezos in parallel to the jack. Remember, the head of the piezo goes to the sleeve, and ring of the
piezo goes to the tip. You should take note of this because, if soldered the other way around, you'd have to change each bow
instrument sound to an edge in your module.
3) Warm up the glue gun for step 4 if you decided to use glue. Wherever you decided to put your jack, drill two holes
big enough for the wire tie on either side of the jack. I recommend putting the jack near the bell, as the cymbal behaves
slightly differently from a normal crash. Thread the wire-tie through the holes and around the jack, then tighten with pliers,
and cut off the excess.
4) (Optional) Squeeze some hot glue between the jack and the cymbal. Don't be afraid to use a lot, you'd be surprised
what it takes to keep the jack from falling off.
5) Tape over the jack to hide the messiness. Now, cut 3 squares of 5mm foam tape and place them between each piezo and
the cymbal.
6) Use the electrical tape to cover each piezo (as I've partially done in the photo), and tape the wires down.
7) Congrats, you're done! Because this is a china, the cymbal gets a little top-heavy, so I'd recommend tightening the
wingnut down on the cymbal mount.

When I came to therapy I had almost no flexibility in my neck and upper back. I now feel great! I can now sleep through the night without pain, hoist dishes into the upper cupboards and even do a bit of raking in the yard! I know that my lupus may have me back in here from time to time, but I know that I will get better, thanks to HealthQuest and its staff. Truth be told I was dreading it, but you made it a pleasant experience.
Virginia G., Oxford MI
I am being treated for lower back and hip pain due to pregnancy. I have made huge improvements and have learned exercises to help strengthen my abdominal muscles. My hip pain is gone and my abs are stronger, relieving my back pain. I would recommend physical therapy to anyone in pain and anyone who wishes or needs to exercise safely during pregnancy.
Margaret K., Rochester MI
The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. I came in with a sling and left with a Smile!
Kim C , Clinton Twp, MI
After visiting several medical facilities over the past 32 years to manage my juvenile diabetes and to receive a kidney transplant ("the gift of life") I feel it is important to express my gratitude to the entire staff and complete satisfaction! They have been the most friendly, accommodating, compassionate, fun and most of all…. Excellent at their craft! I can not say enough about each and every individual at HealthQuest. This place has made me feel better physically as well as emotionally and that is priceless to those of us who struggle with health and physical maladies
Patrice R. Macomb MI
I can not believe that falling asleep on the couch could have left me is such pain! After being awakened by the pain every night after it was time to do something about it. After 4 weeks of therapy I am sleeping through the night and the pain that was stopping me dead in my tracks is completely gone!
Denise H., Romeo MI
I came in having to use a walker to stand and ankle and knee braces for support. I also used a shower chair in the bathroom. I am leaving therapy free of the braces and I have put away the walker! I can also take a shower standing up. Can't ask for better results than that!
Nancy M., Clinton Twp MI
I had completed 12 visits at a different physical therapy facility, yet was unable to resume running without my foot dropping and losing feeling. My therapist researched possible reasons for this and came up with a diagnosis as well as a treatment. She performed Graston procedure on the area and after several weeks I was running without issues. I am thankful for her commitment to research and my return to running!
Sharon L., Romeo MI
After an ACL reconstruction and meniscus repair I wondered if getting back to normal activity was even possible. I began physical therapy immediately and saw results very quickly. After only 8 weeks I feel great and am able to get back to my normal activities. I am excited about continuing with the Performance Program. Thank you for everything!
Dawn Neely, Oxford MI
When I came to HealthQuest I was 14 weeks pregnant and having quite a bit of lower back pain and having difficulty walking as well as performing daily activities. After just 6 weeks I feel 100% better! I am getting around without any problems or pain and have the group at HealthQuest to thank!
Krista V., Macomb MI
I had knee surgery and the doctors office had a physical therapy facility, but it was too far from my home, so I chose HealthQuest, which became my second home. From the moment I walked in I felt welcomed and at ease. I am completely satisfied with my therapy, progression and program. I want to thank everyone for getting me back on my feet!
Jeffy T., Shelby Twp MI
When I first came to HealthQuest my sciatic nerve was pinched and the pain was unbearable. I was able to get some relief from pain medication, but I didn't want to rely on medication. Within 4-5 weeks of therapy my sciatic pain all but disappeared. I was also given an exercise program to work on at home, but will stay in touch with my family at HealthQuest, THANKS!
Margaret C., Mt. Clemens MI
When I started at HealthQuest I had severe back pain that was debilitating. I was originally told that I more than likely required surgery, but agreed to try therapy first to see if it could help. Seven weeks later my pain levels have almost completely diminished and I have avoided surgery and have my life back! Thank you HealthQuest for your dedication, commitment and expertise.
Bill R., Oxford MI
I have had 8 visits for an ankle/foot problem that I was told was chronic. I am a nurse in an emergency room and had not been able to work 3 shifts in a row because of my foot pain. After seeing my orthopedic surgeon he sent me to HealthQuest, even though I didn't think I needed it. I am getting positive results and am so glad I went!
Pam B., Romeo MI
When I came to HealthQuest I couldn't squeeze shampoo from a bottle, had no strength in my hand and it would go numb and cold. I also had constant pain in my neck. After working with the PT's and staff I regained my strength and feeling in my hand and fingers and am pain free! They also gave me the tools to help myself at home and tips on how to manage in the workplace.

Linda Parker MBACP (Accred)

About me
Life can be very challenging at times and getting the right support can make all the difference. I have over 15 years post-qualification experience as a Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist and have been Accredited by the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) since 2004. My private practice is in Weybridge and I offer both long and short-term, one-to-one counselling and psychotherapy to adults.
I provide a non-judgmental, confidential space where clients can safely explore their difficulties. I would describe my therapeutic style as interactive - I don't just sit and 'listen'. I use a broad range of skills, interventions and techniques to help people process difficult experiences and gain insight into patterns of thinking and behaviours, that no longer serve them. I also help people find alternative, more satisfying ways of living and dealing with situations.
When people contact me, after a brief, free telephone consultation, I usually suggest meeting for one to three sessions for us to discuss their difficulties together. This provides clients with a chance to see how I work and me to assess if I think I can help effectively. If we decide to proceed together, we agree a contract to include number of sessions, goals etc which is reviewed periodically.
Training, qualifications & experience
I qualified in 2001 with a Diploma in Integrative Counselling. In addition to my private practice, I also work as a Psychotherapist at the Priory Hospital in Roehampton and a Counsellor and Clincial Supervisor at Kingston University. Previous posts were as a Counsellor at HMP Send and Senior Counsellor at The Drug & Alcohol Foundation in Central London.
Over the years I have undertaken significant specialist training in trauma, addictions, eating disorders, co-dependency, depression, anxiety, anger management, relationship difficulties and various types of abuse. I have incorporated this knowledge into my counselling practice and therefore work with expertise in a wide range of issues.
I have been an Accredited Member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy since 2004.

While the rest of the nation is busy taking sides in the debate between the individual's right to choose versus the Catholic Church's stand against artificial birth control, the House of Representatives is moving closer to the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. After reading The Consolidated RH Bill, I gather that discussions should be more in the practical sense. Let the buyer beware.
Before anything else, allow me to put some things on the table:
- The Catholic Church has done nothing but respect and protect God's gift of life to every human being, born and unborn.
- On the other side, the Philippine government continues to be viewed as having a serious corruption problem. On a scale of 01 to 10, with 10 being the worst, the country garnered a score of 8.9, poorer than 8.25 in 2010, as reported by Political & Economic Risk Consultancy, Ltd in Hong Kong. (ABS-CBNnews.com)
- There are more pressing problems in the country today. Just look around you.
- UN Resident Coordinator Dr. Jacqueline Badcock said the UN provides support to programs of the Philippine government but will not include providing contraceptives. (PhilStar)
- There are several articles written in the Journal of American Medical Association on the harmful side effects of contraceptives, some of them leading to cancer and death.
Now that we are all in the same page, let us get down to brass tacks. Have you read the RH Bill? I did, and some sections glared at me while reading it.
Sec. 6, Emergency Obstetric Care, states in part: For every 500,000 population, there shall be at least one (1) hospital with comprehensive emergency obstetric care and four (4) hospitals or other health facilities with basic emergency obstetric care.
Now, try clicking this - Google Books. Did you notice the hospital figures on the right hand page of the book? I understand that this is the "acceptable minimum level" as written in a foreign context. However, are we talking about a "one size fits all" legislation? Should our intelligent members of Congress conduct their own study and come up with a Filipino version of what is acceptable? In my previous post, A Troubling Health Care Issue, I described the RH Bill AS A CUT AND PASTE JOB!
SEC. 14. Benefits for Serious and Life-Threatening Reproductive Health Conditions. All serious and life threatening reproductive health conditions such as HIV and AIDS, breast and reproductive tract cancers, obstetric complications, menopausal and post-menopausal related conditions shall be given the maximum benefits as provided by PhilHealth programs.
The Philippine Health Insurance Corp. missed the Dec 2010 target mandated by law for it to provide universal health coverage to Filipinos. Health experts say the agency is poorly managed and consequently unable to deliver quality health care to those who need it most. A 2010 Social Weather Station survey on health care services and financing showed only 36 percent of respondents have PhilHealth coverage. (Vera Files)
Do you think the RH Bill will do better when their hedge or insurance for some very real risks is PhilHealth?
Sec.15, Mobile Health Care Service. Each Congressional District shall be provided with at least one Mobile Health Care Service (MHCS) in the form of a van or other means of transportation appropriate to coastal or mountainous areas.
The provisions set for some serious medical needs most likely to arise from this haphazard project by the House of Representatives ARE SO MINIMAL that a single
Sec 30. Appropriations. The amounts appropriated in the current annual General Appropriations Act (GAA) for Family Health and Responsible Parenting under the DOH and POPCOM and other concerned agencies shall be allocated and utilized for the initial implementation of this Act.
It so happens that it is P731 Million for 2011. This initial amount has been earmarked to cover expenses for information campaign alone. (GMANews.com)
I bet you that in a couple of years, we will be watching some very dramatic Congressional hearings again on government funds filtering its way to nice houses in the United States, or to some guy's safety deposit box in a Swiss bank.
The absurdity of it all is the absence of any project cost analysis report, timetable, risk analysis and management, etc. It sounds more like "bahala na si Batman" to me.
Before I close, I would like to leave you with the following questions:
- Are you willing to hand over some post dated and blank checks to the House of Representatives?
- Do you trust that this RH Bill will result to any good at all when it clearly exhibits a lack of thorough research and analysis?
- Who among the foreign pharmaceutical firms will be
dumpingselling us the materials and drugs for this project?
- Would you not rather spend for housing projects for the poor minimum wage earners who cannot afford to buy or even rent decent homes. They end up squatting.
- Do you want to give our corrupt-ridden government blanket authority over the future of your children's reproductive health?
P.S. Thank you to Boyet Ignacio for his generosity in allowing me the use of his photo. His pictures really do speak a thousand words.

July 14, 2016
from Business Mirror
SAN Miguel Corp. on Thursday said it was considering selling up to 49 percent of its interest in a power investment in Pangilinan-led Manila Electric Co. (Meralco).
In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange, the conglomerate said it is in talks with Meralco for the sale of up to 49 percent of SMC affiliate South Premier Power Corp. (SPPC), the independent power-producer administrator (IPPA) of the Ilijan natural gas-power plant.
The planned sale, SMC said, is still subject to the resolution of the pending case instituted by SPPC against the Power Sector Assets and Liabilities Management Corp. (PSALM).
PSALM earlier terminated SPPC's IPPA contract because the latter failed to pay the outstanding generation payments from December 26, 2012, to April 25, 2015, amounting to P6.46 billion, the state firm said.
As part of PSALM's decision to terminate the contract, the state firm also moved to seize the $60-million performance bond of SPPC.
However, SMC was able to score a preliminary injunction against PSALM.
The order enjoins PSALM "from further proceeding with the termination of the IPPA agreement between SPPC and PSALM while the main case is pending." This means PSALM cannot cancel the contract "for the duration of the trial until a decision on the merits is reached," SMC had said.
SMC President Ramon Ang and Meralco Chairman Manny Pangilinan earlier partnered for a power project.
Meralco Powergen Corp., the power-generation arm of Meralco, acquired a 49-percent stake in Mariveles Power Generation Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of SMC Global Power Holdings Inc.

KAA is a four year old boy who cannot sit on his own. He has a hearing problem as well as frequent convulsions. His parents expected that at his age he should be in school and are very frustrated as a result. His parents are on the verge of divorce because of KAA's current condition. His mother blames his paternal grandmother for his condition as she was told by a prophet that grandmother is the cause of the illness. KAA's mother noticed that his eyes were very yellow when he was only 3 days old. His maternal grandmother told his mother to put him under the sun in the early morning for two days. She also supplied her with camelion a locally made string which is tied on the baby's hand (It is believed to ward off all evil eyes anibone and turn every evil into good). Mother had also used that. By the 7th day mother had noticed that KAA had become weak, was refusing breastmilk and also had a weak cry.
Mother then sent KAA to a nearby Health Center which referred her to a bigger hospital in the city.
By the time they arrived in the hospital, KAA had started having repeated convulsions. The Hospital staff immediately attended to KAA and gave medicine to stop the convulsions and kept him in the hospital for some time. KAA eventually became better.
The doctors told KAA's parents that KAA had been brought in too late and that the Jaundice had gone into his brain and caused brain damage. KAA's parents had also been told that because of the brain damage, his growth would not be like other babies who had not suffered brain damage. Thus they will need repeated visits to the hospital. In summary KAA had suffered brain damage from severe newborn jaundice.
We now take a look at NEWBORN JAUNDICE.
Newborn jaundice defined:
Newborn jaundice is the yellowing of the white portion of the eye (sclera) and or skin occurring in babies less than 1 month old.
It is a common finding in newborns.
About 8 out of 10 preterm (babies born earlier than 37 weeks of pregnancy) babies develop jaundice. Also 6 out of 10 newborns who were delivered at full term (babies born at or after 37 weeks) develop jaundice.
In the Child Health Out Patients Department of the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, no day passes without a baby coming in with neonatal jaundice. Unfortunately, some of them come in too late and end up with brain damage or even die. It leads to a condition called cerebral palsy which means the movement of the child is affected.
Every newborn baby can get neonatal jaundice. It is not discriminatory. Babies born to the rich, poor, educated, uneducated, antenatal care attendants and those who do not attend antenatal care can all develop jaundice after delivery.
You will notice yellowing of the white portion of the eye or the skin. This is always abnormal if it happens within the first day of life.
Causes of newborn/neonatal jaundice:
People often wonder if newborn jaundice is caused by hepatitis or spreads from person to person.
It is usually not caused by agents that spread from baby to baby or baby to adults. The agents are called viruses which are contracted whilst baby is in the womb. This causes what is known as a neonatal hepatitis and is not like the adult hepatitis from an infectious source.
There are several conditions that cause neonatal jaundice. Examples include, an infection in the baby, G6PD deficiency (an inherited enzyme deficiency in the blood and fairly common in our male babies), differences in blood group of the baby and mother , Biliary atresia and Galactosemia.
Breast milk jaundice also exists. One may think of breastmilk jaundice if tests for all other causes are negative. (It may also be detected if stopping breast feeding improves the jaundice and worsens if breast feeding is restarted)
There are so many known specific causes for neonatal jaundice. Once baby is brought to hospital early for treatment, baby becomes well. Anibone (evil eyes) is not the cause of jaundice in babies.
Jaundice may be present at birth. If present at birth, it is very serious and requires immediate attention. It may also develop a few days after the baby is born. When the jaundice is severe, the compound that causes the jaundice (bilirubin) can go to the brain and cause serious damage to the baby's brain. It may result in cerebral palsy.
Other things to look out for:
The baby's stool (pupu) may become pale(almost white) which may be an indication of a very serious condition called biliary atresia. It is also important to note whether the baby is feeding poorly or has become weak. This is an indication that baby is ill and requires immediate medical attention.
A word of caution against the use of herbal medicine to treat neonatal jaundice:
There are a few people who try herbal medications and end up causing brain damage to the baby or even death. Your baby may develop brain damage which may affect their growth and development. They may not be able to grow normally. They may have hearing problems or mental retardation even if they survive. There are also some who may die from severe neonatal jaundice.
A study done in the Child health Department of the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital found severe neonatal jaundice to be the most significant and preventable cause of cerebral palsy amongst Ghanaian children.
Tests and treatment:
Lab tests; blood samples will be taken from the baby to determine the level of the bilirubin(jaundice) in the blood and the baby's blood group. The level of the bilirubin will determine how the baby will be treated. The other causes of jaundice in babies will also be looked out for on an individual baby basis. Blood will be taken from the mother to check her blood group as well.
If the level of the bilirubin is low, baby may be asked to go home and return a few days later for reassessment.
Phototherapy: If the level of jaundice(bilirubin) is not too high the baby is put under blue light which helps to break down the bilirubin and clear the jaundice. Baby is put under the light naked with the eyes and genital area covered to protect the eyes and genitals from damage.
Exchange blood transfusion:
If the level of jaundice(bilirubin) is very high, the baby may need an exchange blood transfusion. This involves taking some of baby's blood out and giving a blood transfusion. The aim of this procedure is to bring down the level of the bilirubin quickly to avoid brain damage to the baby.
If a surgical cause of the jaundice is seen, surgery is performed to save the baby.
Leaving the baby under early morning sun does improve neonatal jaundice. It is however not recommended because the sun also has other rays which are harmful to the baby. The rather limited time spent under the sun in most cases will not cure the jaundice. Another reason is that, there is no monitoring by health experts thus baby can easily get worse and develop brain damage.
A note to health workers in small centers:
There are several causes of neonatal jaundice. Just looking at the baby will not reveal the cause. Lab tests and other investigations may be necessary to make a diagnosis. If you are not trained in the management of neonatal jaundice or do not have phototherapy at your facility, prompt referral to a higher health facility for treatment is the only way to prevent disability from brain damage or death of the baby.
The intensive phototherapy unit (e.g. Firefly) in our experience is a very effective piece of equipment to manage neonatal jaundice.
In conclusion, neonatal jaundice is common. It's complications are several,severe and preventable. No baby should therefore die or develop brain damage from newborn jaundice.

West Platte High School head football and wrestling coach Nathan A. Danneman died Wednesday evening when a tractor-trailer crossed the median of Interstate 29 and struck three vehicles north of Platte City.
"Nathan Danneman will always be known as a positive and hard-working role model for our kids and staff. He will be greatly missed. Our deepest sympathies go out to Coach Danneman's family during this time of grief," the district announced on Facebook and Twitter Thursday morning.
"Coach Danneman was one of our best," West Platte superintendent John Rinehart said. "He was a great teacher and a great coach. He was really well thought of — if not beloved."
Kids and staff alike were drawn to him, Rinehart said. The coach was gregarious and very positive.
"He was the kind of man you'd want your kid to have as a teacher or coach," Rinehart said. "That's about the highest compliment I can pay him professionally."
The 37-year-old coach from Camden Point, Mo., was killed in the 6:45 p.m. crash Wednesday. Three others, including his 4-year-old daughter, who was in the back seat of his car, had minor injuries.
The semi was headed north on I-29 when it crossed the median — and a cable barrier — near the exit to Camden Point. The semi then struck the 2014 Ford Focus that Danneman was driving south on I-29. The semi also struck a 2017 Ford F-150 and a 2015 Chevrolet Cruze.
Danneman was pronounced dead at the scene.
The West Platte School District hired Danneman as head football coach and assistant wrestling coach in 2013. He also served as a physical education and strength conditioning teacher for the district.
Robbie Shepherd, his former principal at Drexel, Mo., where Danneman served as head football coach for the 2011 and 2012 seasons, said he lured Danneman to take the job.
"He was just smart about the game, and he was well-loved by everybody. It was the perfect combination," Shepherd said. "We always laughed. I used to joke with him because he was a short guy. But he was bigger than life."
West Platte was 20-28 in Danneman's four-year tenure and finished 1-9 last season.
Some of his current and former players and students took to Twitter to commemorate his life. The school district announced that all games and meets were canceled Thursday.
"I can only wish I grow up to be the kind of man Danneman was," Cameron Johnson posted. "Rest in (peace), Coach."
"This town lost an incredible man tonight, and he will not be forgotten," Clay Lambrecht wrote. "Prayers out to his family. All we can do is remember the good times and be thankful for what we have."
A memorial fund has been set up on GoFundMe by his twin brother, Jake Danneman, who described him as a devoted husband and father of two "sweet and sometimes sassy daughters." In just a few hours the fund had raised more than $14,000 of its $50,000 goal.
"As the head football coach for West Platte High School, Nate was an influential pillar who instilled discipline, passion and courage to young men," wrote Jake Danneman, who is defensive coordinator of linebackers for Liberty North High School.
"Coach Danneman was a masterful game planner and that is why I am here writing this today. There are no game plans in life that can prep you for an event such as this tragedy."
The district had grief counselors at the school for students and staff. The mood at the high school was described as "quiet and sad."
The West Platte Fellowship of Christian Athletes will hold a candlelight vigil for Danneman at 8 p.m. Thursday at the West Platte High School's old football field. The high school is at 935 Washington St. in Weston.
Danneman graduated with a bachelor's degree in physical education from Missouri Valley College in Marshall, Mo., where he played football. He was chosen defensive MVP in 2000 and served as team captain for the Vikings. He also earned all-Heart of America Athletic Conference honors.
While pursuing a master of science degree in educational leadership, Danneman coached at Marshall High School, where he helped lead the football team to the state quarterfinals and the wrestling team to a top-10 finish. He also coached throwing on the track and field team.
In 2003, Danneman became defensive coordinator at Richmond High School, where he spent six years coaching football, wrestling and track.
While at Richmond, he helped lead the Spartans to two district titles, two conference championships, two quarterfinals and a semifinal.
He was chosen as the defensive coach for the Missouri East/West Lions All-Star Game in 2004. Three years later, he was chosen to help coach the MO-KAN All-Star Game.
Prior to joining West Platte, Danneman coached at Drexel High School. He posted a 17-4 record and won the WEMO Conference championship both years.
Danneman is the second head football coach from the Kansas City metro area to die this year. In February, Blue Valley coach Eric Driskell died following a ruptured brain aneurysm.
As news of Danneman's death spread, people took to social media to express their grief and condolences to his family.
